This wasn’t just missing a gig. This was one of the Vet homes biggest events of the year. The banquet they have for volunteers. Planned months in advance. My guess is my playing days at this Vets home are over.
I have been playing there 6-12 times a year for the past 8 or so years.
🙁
I have to ask when they guy called you why didn't you just jump in the car and fly over there so you can play even though you would have been a little bit late?
By the time I would have scrambled to get there...everything would be over.

To me it seems weird that the Vet’s home coordinator didn’t contact you earlier just to check if everything was fine, since the arrangement was made so much beforehand.

......A good idea is to always contact the job a day or two in advance to touch bases for confirmation or any last minute changes...take care
Many years ago I was home on a Friday night, actually going through some songs I was planning to play at a gig the next night ... the phone rings and a woman asks "Tony, where are you? Why aren't you here?" I realized it was the woman who hired me for her parents anniversary party which I thought was the next night ... fortunately the venue was 15 minutes from my house ... I had my wife pick up my tux from the cleaners and bring it to the hall and I packed up as quickly as I could ... all in all, I started a little less than 1 hour later than I was supposed to and told the woman I was going to play the 3 hours with no break ... the night went fine from there, and everyone had a great time, but when she paid me the woman said the music was great, but she could never recommend me to anyone ...
Now that is just plain COLD. Some folks are just mean, plain and simple.
